Sibel Kekilli’s career started back in 2002 when she auditioned for Fatih Akins award-winning movie “Gegen die Wand” (“Heads-On”). The film won the Golden Bear at the German Film Festival Berlinale and her acting performance received several national and international prices, among them her first Lola award in 2004.

Since then she played in several national and international productions like “Eve Dönüş” (“Home coming”, 2006), awarded Best Actress at the Antalya Film Festival, aside with Josef Bierbichler and Hanna Schygulla in “Winterreise” (“Winter journey”, 2006) or the leading role Umay in Feo Aladags “Die Fremde” (“When we leave”) in 2010. There Kekilli plays a young Kurdish woman who leaves Turkey to return to her family in Germany and flee from her conservative and violent husband on the one hand and to give her son a better life on the other. The film was her second big hit with international recognition and Kekilli received the Best Actress Award at the Tribeca Film Festival and once again the Lola award among others.

Apart from other movie roles, as the very successful comedy “What a man” (2011) directed by Matthias Schweighöfer, she investigates together with colleague Axel Milberg in the highly regarded German series “Tatort” from 2010 until 2017 and was part of the main cast from the very beginning in the award-winning HBO-series “Game of Thrones” which turned into a major international success.
